Vijayawada: Followers of Jagan Mohan
Reddy on Monday staged protests all over Krishna district
immediately after the announcement of his decision to resign
from the Congress party.
They demanded that the Congress High Command should not
accept his resignation and also not to take action against
him.
Many youths gathered at the Congress office here to show
their solidarity with Jagan Reddy and raised slogans in his
favour.
At Gudivada, his followers damaged the Congress office and
burnt the effigy of Sonia Gandhi, while at Vissannapet, seven
elected members of local self-governing bodies announced their
resignations in support of Jagan.
Malladi Vishnu, Congress MLA from Vijayawada Central
almost broke down while talking about the resignation. He has
requested the high command not to take action against Jagan
and respect his views.
